Wealthy property backers who bankrolled the purchase of BHS are to be quizzed by MPs over their dealings with the stricken high street chain.

Guy and Alexander Dellal, who control Allied Commercial Exporters, have been called to give evidence to the joint select committee hearings about the funding of a bid by the thrice-bankrupt Dominic Chappell.

Chappell bought the department store group for £1 in March last year from owner Sir Philip Green. It collapsed into administration in April this year, putting 11,000 jobs at risk.
